[PATCH 0/5] Support Write-Through mapping on x86

[Toshi Kani]

This patchset adds support of Write-Through (WT) mapping on x86.
The study below shows that using WT mapping may be useful for
non-volatile memory.

This patchset applies on top of the Juergen's patchset below,
which provides the basis of the PAT management.

All new/modified interfaces have been tested.
